Remember when Dorothy opens the door to Oz? Her whole world transforms from black and white to vibrant color. That's kind of like the Seattle Pride Parade.

Held the last weekend of June each year, our Emerald City goes "Over the Rainbow" and over the top to support our LGBT community.

Expect a dazzling spectacle of floats, outlandish costumes and dancing in the streets. The Parade, produced by Seattle Out and Proud, is an exuberant, high-energy celebration of diversity, community and unity. Parade starts at Westlake Park and travels 4th Ave. to the Pride Fest at the Seattle Center. Visit www.SeattlePride.org for more information.
